  • "This technique can engage lower-end students for a time. Be careful not to let the 'newness' of using cell phones in the classroom become routine."
  • "The younger the audience, the more likely there will be problems. Make sure you have rules in place about exactly when and how cell phones can be used during a lesson."
  • "Instructors who have experience with this should lead other teachers in professional development of using cell phones in the classroom. This technology has the possibility of being a game changer."
  • "My kids loved doing this! It was nice to see them so alert for a change."
  • "This can be a powerful tool. I do catch kids abusing the system, but more kids are engaged than are not."
